Difference between GW170104 and Orbital decay

GW170104 vs. Orbital decay

GW170104 was a gravitational wave signal detected by the LIGO observatory on 4 January 2017. In orbital mechanics, decay is a process that leads to gradual decrease of the distance between two orbiting bodies at their closest approach (the periapsis) over many orbital periods.

Similarities between GW170104 and Orbital decay

GW170104 and Orbital decay have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Binary star, Binary system, Black hole, Gravitational wave, Stellar collision.

Binary star

A binary star is a star system consisting of two stars orbiting around their common barycenter.

Binary system

A binary system is a system of two astronomical bodies which are close enough that their gravitational attraction causes them to orbit each other around a barycenter (also see animated examples).

Black hole

A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it.

Gravitational wave

Gravitational waves are the disturbance in the fabric ("curvature") of spacetime generated by accelerated masses and propagate as waves outward from their source at the speed of light.
